Exposure

Coney beach faces south-west. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from SE round to NW; the brighter a wedge, the deeper the water in that direction and the more of the swell gets in. Anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

0.3 m at 11 s (swell) · 100 % reaches the beach

How Coney beach works

Swell

Best from the north west.

Wind

Offshore is from the east; anything with south-west in it is onshore and messes it up.

Tide

all tides.

Getting there

These directions will also take u to restbay-Leave M4 motorway at Junction 37, and take A4229. (This bears of left and south westerly from the M4 for traffic coming from the east, but traffic coming from the west will have to go under the underpass. 2) At first roundabout on A4229 take exit marked A4229, and loop south and eastward of Cornelly village to next roundabout east of the village, and follow A4229 away eastwards from this roundabout junction. 3) Travel east along A4229 for about 2 miles, following the road as it swings south and down to the next roundabout. 4) At this roundabout take the exit that goes west up a little hill to NOTTAGE. At the top of the little hill turn left on to FULMAR ROAD. 5) Follow Fulmar Road south westwards for about a mile to its end, then a left turn back eastwards into MALLARD WAY. 6) Going eastward along Mallard Way you will see houses on your left, an open common on your right stretching down to the sea. You will come to a hairpin bend junction, at which you should make the hairpin turn back up north westwards up WEST DRIVE and across the common. 7) Crossing the common, with the sea out to your left, you will see the big house at the end of the road. This is the REST CONVALESCENT HOME, the venue for our meeting. 8) Drive up the driveway to the front of the house, and park in the ample car park. 9) Enter by the front entrance. The meeting will be held in the first room on the left (unless otherwise directed). 10) COFFEE AND TEA will be brought in after the meeting.

left and right works best at high tide but local restbay needs to be at 5ft or so for coney to work but good for longboarders.
